I'd say most of the non-sports games would probably go for $5.00 or so each on ebay, depending on the groupings. In this case I would fairly offer at least $2.00 each for loose carts, as long as they're in good condition. If most are complete with book and box a truly fair price would be between $5 and $10 each, again, for the non-sports games. Sports games are generally just filler / take up space and don't have much replayability or value. At the same time, games like Rocket Knight and the Sonics are probably worth more on the high side. Value is all up to the buyer, so it depends on what you feel is fair.

I'd say $60, which is a good start price and negotiate from there. I'd go no higher then $80.

rocket knight is a great grab, but the rest of that list is pretty mediocre.

I'd agree with the folks saying $50-60, thought I'd honestly say at least half those games aren't really worth bothering with.

My suggestion is grab the lot, try each game, and sell off/trade the ones you don't want to make some of your $60 back.

at $50 that would be a steal. but honestly I would only want like 15 of those games and I'd pay $25. So you should try to get all 50 for the lowest price and then sell the ones you dont like to a local game shop (for whatever they give you)

edit: and yeah I agree with the post above me. try every game, and if you HATE it, then just put it in a pile of games to try to sell. but many of those games the local stores/pawn shops wont even want.

I think people are being stingy here. At $2 a game (which is still one helluva deal for whoever is buying it) you could make off with double what most people are saying. Make $100 instead of $50.

But most of those are not very good IMO. That is what happens when you sell something in bulk (sold for less than the sum of its parts if sold separately). Though if someone thinks they will like most of them/enjoy most of them, then I can see it being worth more to them

it depends on wheter the games are boxed, or with instructions.

that could quite literally make a difference of 30% or more.

The other games can be debated, but these games are great games, some of the best on the Genesis, and definetly worth more than $2 a pop, which is what I'm suggesting:

after burner 2 air diver
castle of illusion starring mickey mouse
Columns
genesis 6 pack
Mortal Kombat
Nba jam tournament edition
pitfall:the mayan adventure
road rash 2
rocket knight adventures
sonic and knuckles
sonic 3d blast
sonic the hedgehog
sonic 2
sonic 3
street fighter 2 special championship edition
strider
disneys Toy story
wwf super wrestlemania

I would say 12 of those are worth about $5...so maybe $60 is a better value.
The rest of the games I couldn't care less about

Just to clarify I'm the one buying. On the ad says nearly 20 games come with the case and manual. But I still haven't gotten any sort of a reply back from the guy so we'll see.
